I believe that many people's childhood is not only innocent and romantic, but also more growing pains and pains. "The lonely, ununderstood heart knows no age or border." Don't be deceived by the title of the film, European films are very good at telling love and kindness from the perspective of children, and even some very profound topics.
The heroine of the story, Betty, is sensitive, afraid of the dark, afraid of loneliness, but life seems to be familiar with her fears, living with her parents in a large house next to a psychiatric nursing home, coupled with the breakdown of her parents' feelings, her sister is also happy to go to a distant city to go to school, Betty lives alone in loneliness.
Until his encounter with Ivan, who escaped from a psychiatric nursing home, his appearance was like a key that opened up Betty's world. But Betty's father was a psychiatrist, but her kindness prompted her not to hand Ivan over to his father, but to secretly give Ivan a home, in the small and dilapidated utility room. But Ivan still gave Betty a silly smile, clean and warm, and at that moment, Betty was deeply moved by this smile.
Betty stole her father's sweater for Ivan, brought him food on time every day, and told him jokes when it rained. Betty shared her dreams, her joys, her troubles with Ivan, who had been listening quietly, never having any verbal communication with Betty, but feeling that they were leaning on each other.
Betty has been carefully protecting the simple big boy, and they have become close friends, guarding a secret together. But the utility room was not safe after all, and the father, thinking that he cared about his daughter, emptied the utility room and wanted to build a play room for her, but did not understand her real thoughts, so Betty and Ivan took Snick and ran away from home.
The ending of the story is nonsensical, Ivan rescues Betty who has fallen from the roof like a prince, and Betty confesses to her parents that she needs their understanding. Betty's full name was Elizabeth, but no one had ever called her that. She could only say to ivan, her only companion: Please call me Elizabeth.
The film does have an exaggerated component, but I believe that there are many children who have such a real painful time, and parents cannot understand the hearts of their children, cannot understand that they are affected by the little black shadows in life, thus leaving deep scars. I felt like two wounded little beasts, licking each other's wounds, and what hurt them was this dark world.
"True Love Full of Bags" is a child's world, a quiet work.
The 90-minute film heals with sadness and I miraculously feel empathy.
Some people use childhood to heal a lifetime, and some people use their lives to make up for childhood.
May all lonely, sensitive but kind people find companions who are close to them.
